Sarmako - A Tale of the North (2020)
Thessaloniki, October 1949. The Greek Civil War is supposedly over, but its impact is still felt by the people and a great divide exists between them. Antonis, the owner of the tavern “Makedonikon,” stays neutral and tries to distance himself from politics. But dreadful news summons his most feared childhood experience. While the war, the decade and a whole epoch come to an end, the band of musicians play their last classic rembetika songs. And for Antonis the time for revenge has come.

Too many fans seem to be blown away
Am I Missing Something?
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
